David Mancuso Presents The Loft 4LP Box (Disco Funk)

	£		44
	$		59

A much sought after box of classic tunes from David Mancuso's legendary Loft club. Strut Records spent too much money on making lovely packages and maybe not enough on marketing as they went bust pretty quickly making these much sought after. There's very few of these knocking about and with a low start price like this there's no reason to sleep. A perfect xmas present for the serious DJ in your life or anyone interested in the history of Dance music or seeking some hard to find on vinyl funk and disco and just weird (Arthur Russell anyone) music.

Four LPs containing twenty tracks of Loft Classics - well over two and a half hours of great tunes. And on top of that a beautiful 12" x 12" book with reminiscences, details and more. And a whole host of beautiful hotos of some of the Loft's legnedary NYC locations.

The Record/ Sleeve are NM/Ex- (The box has no dents, dings or bends just some scuffing to box cover from storage. Some of the LPS look unplayed as paper from the orange inner sleeves is attached to edge others may have been played once or twice. No way has this been taken out and abused - but buy it and you can do that if you like)

Feel free to ask any questions.

Within the EU a bank transfer is quite cheap contact me for IBAN details if you wish to use this method. Cash (Us Dollars, euro or sterling) will be accepted if it turns up but is obviously not a great idea unless you use registered post.

Overseas buyers are most welcome.
